So beautiful! And one of my favorite things about iris is that they all have a slightly different fragrance!

So beautiful! It looks like he has peonies also? Where is he at? Please tell your dad that we enjoyed his beautiful gardens.

What does he do to get so many blooms? We aren't getting many this year but I'm wondering if we had too much rain? This year has been a very wet year thus far. Would he be willing to share some tips or secrets?

Here's Dad's website: http://www.borglumsiris.com/ It may answer your questions! I can answer some (I worked for Dad for years and learned all he knew from listening to him talk to customers. :lol: ) but have forgotten some details....
